Divorce FAQs

How Long Does A Divorce Take?

Because of the mandatory one-year separation, at least one year must pass before you can file. After filing and serving your spouse, the process timeline depends on whether the divorce is contested or uncontested. However, resolving property division and custody can take much longer if the case is contested or involves complex assets.

Can I Get A Divorce If My Spouse Won’t Sign The Divorce Papers?

Yes, in North Carolina, you do not need your spouse’s consent to get a divorce. If you meet the residency and separation requirements, you can file the complaint. Once they are served, they have a limited time to respond. If they ignore the papers, you can move forward with a divorce by default.

How Much Does A Divorce Cost In Charlotte?

How much a divorce costs depends on a variety of factors, including whether there are children involved, the assets involved, and the level of cooperation of your soon-to-be former spouse. At WSM Law, we provide a realistic estimate of potential costs during your free consultation.

Do I Really Need To Hire A Family and Divorce Attorney?

Technically, no. However, people who handle a divorce on their own often miss opportunities to protect their best interests. Wanting to finalize everything quickly can lead to unfair property division, overlooked retirement accounts or business interests, and missed opportunities to seek spousal support.

Can I Change My Name At The Time Of The Divorce?

Yes. Many women find that reclaiming their maiden name is a meaningful part of their emotional transition and new beginning. We include this request in your initial filings to ensure that the process is seamless and that your final decree provides the legal proof you need to update your identification and accounts.
